Belgium (6) v (7) Sweden

Sweden came from behind to defeat Belgium 7-6 in a goal-for-goal INSP
Cup quarter final played at Yarra Pitch today.

With two Australian reserve team fill-ins, Danny Syah and William
Patridge, Belgium took an early 4-2 lead in the first half.

Captain Benaissa Nourdine led from the front with a first-half hat trick and
then set up his team mate for the fourth before Sweden fought back to
even the score 4-4.

The teams went goal for goal for the remainder of the match.

Locked at 6-6 with one minute to go, it looked as though the match was
destined for a penalty shootout until Sweden's Jim Nygaard slotted in
his third and Sweden's seventh and match-winning goal.

Sweden will meet Malawi in the INSP Cup semi final this afternoon.

The INSP Cup is contested by teams ranked 41-48 after the secondary stage.
